Calibration

Reviewing ratings across a team so the same standard applies to everyone.

Calibration is a review of performance ratings across a team or the whole organisation, so a 4 from one manager means the same as a 4 from another. Managers or a panel compare the spread of ratings and adjust outliers. In Vintage People calibration works per review cycle: you adjust the calibrated ratings, then commit, which writes the overall ratings and locks the cycle.
